How to wait for a delete?

[degeens]

Hi all 👋

I'm looking for a nice way to delete an existing Kubernetes job and then create a new job with the same name. This is a (simplified) code snippet that I came up with:

var job = new V1Job { ... };
var @namespace = "default";

await Client.DeleteNamespacedJobAsync(job.Metadata.Name, @namespace)
await Client.CreateNamespacedJobAsync(job, @namespace);

However, when I execute this code I will always end up with the following exception: "object is being deleted: jobs.batch "..." already exists". It looks like the task that is returned by DeleteNamespacedJobAsync completes early before the delete is done.

What is the cleanest possible way to solve this using the Kubernetes Client library?

Thanks for the help!

see #680

you can also take a look at the cleanup in e2e test

csharp/tests/E2E.Tests/MnikubeTests.cs

Line 29 in e45fa77

void Cleanup()

Thank you for your reply.

Could you provide some more information about the watch callback you are talking about in #680? Where can I find it?

There is a watch callback example here:
https://github.com/kubernetes-client/csharp/blob/master/examples/watch/Program.cs#L32

You will get a delete event when the object is deleted.
